Speaker 1: a big one involving Spencer Dinwiddie heading to the Wizards.

Speaker 1: A couple other minor deals. We'll get into those later

26
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: in the show because we are starting with a little

27
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: Olympic men's basketball recap. Hence why Ley is so sad.

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: NTK is on top of the world because USA and

29
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: France guys are set for an Olympic rematch in the

30
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: gold medal game on Saturday Friday night. For everybody on

31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: East Coast, team time ten thirty pm Eastern is when

32
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: that game will be on Peacock or wherever you illegally

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: download and stream it. But let's get into the games

34
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: from you know, early this morning and then this morning

35
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: we'll start with Tim to say Australia, that was the

36
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: one we were all excited for. We had a bet

37
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: on it for crying out loud and Durant and holiday

38
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: they rallied Team USA passed Australia past the Boomers to

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: Olympic Men's gold medal game. Yeah, down early, TK, but

40
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: no problem when you got Durant and you got that

41
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: third quarter. These guys just crush it in that quarter.

42
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 4: Ain't gonna lie. They had us in the first half.

43
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 5: Woo five minutes left in the first half, the Boomers

44
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 5: went up fifteen and Greg Poppy called the time out,

45
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 5: and I'll admit it, I listened to the Cold Chisel

46
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 5: song corner.

47
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: I was shut. I was like, oh, I gotta go

48
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: deep into the Cold Chisel archives here. But then Team

49
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: USA came out of the time out with renewed purpose

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 4: and strong faces. And also they started making jump shots,

51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: which was the real change. I thought they missed their

52
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 4: first ten threes the Americans did. They hit two at

53
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 4: the end of the second quarter. There cut the lead

54
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: to three at the end of the first half, and

55
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: you could tell that the tide had turned. USA, like

56
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: you're saying, skates came out in the second half with

57
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: what's becoming their signature, a huge third quarter run. They

58
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: won the third quarter thirty two to ten. They went

59
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: from down fifteen to up nineteen in about ten minutes,

60
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 4: and that was the game. The Aufses pulled their starters

61
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 4: with about three minutes left in the fourth quarter to

62
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: save him for the bronze medal game, and to me,

63
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 4: it was cue the Melon camp by fun game Big

64
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: Stars in this one, Kevin Durant again finished with twenty three.

65
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: For a while there in the first half, it seemed

66
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 4: like he was the only guy who could score for

67
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: the United States. In the second half, he was wreaking

68
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: havoc on defense. Again, this guy is putting together quite

69
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 4: the defensive performance for Team USA so far in the Olympics.

70
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 4: But he was even the best defender on the Americans yesterday.

71
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 4: That second star of the game, no doubt, Drew Holliday

72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 4: was all over Paddy Mills. He was all over the court.

73
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: He had a steal, he had a block shot, he

74
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: had four offensive rebounds. He was really doing it all

75
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: out there. I think he finished with eleven points, eight rebounds,

76
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: and eight assists. The third star, I'm splitting it between

77
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: two guys, Devin Booker and Zach Levine. Booker had twenty,

78
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: Levine had nine. But I'm more impressed that both of

79
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 4: these guys are really committed to defense. That's one of

80
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 4: the best things about watching a Team USA team put

81
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: things together is that when the stars really embraced being

82
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 4: a role player because they're not going to be the

83
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 4: number one guy out there. You think about Andre Iguidala

84
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 4: or Carmelo Anthony, both guys who are not necessarily playing

85
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: their roles that they would be playing in the NBA.

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 4: But it works perfectly for Team USA. Booker was awesome

87
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 4: on the ball, Levine was living in the passing lanes,

88
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: getting the dunks and defense really won Team USA this game.

89
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 4: They started making some shots, but they were just all

90
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 4: over the play, switching and trapping and getting deflections and

91
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: getting out on the fast break. That's what they're gonna

92
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: need in the gold medal game against France.

93
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee, be honest, how excited were you when they

94
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: went up fifteen there and you had Ingles start in

95
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: the game splashing threes and they were rolling and tim

96
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: Yos couldn't hit a shot? Like TK said, like, were

97
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: you feeling good? Were you getting excited? Were you starting

98
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: to look ahead to the gold medal game? Talk me

99
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: through what happened? Did you even watch it live last night?

100
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: Did you watch it this morning? Talk me through it.

101
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: It was a rewatch this morning. And you know, the

102
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: Feebe game is only forty minutes. I think we should

103
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: actually make it only twenty minutes. I think going forward,

104
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 3: that would be the way to do it, because yeah, honestly,

105
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: when they built that fifteen point lead, it was just

106
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: before mattys Steeble got that three point play, I was like, man,

107
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: the USA. I think through through about fifteen minutes he

108
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: had twenty three, twenty four points. It was like Australia's

109
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: defense was everywhere, they were moving, they were rotating around,

110
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: and it seemed to be like basically they were relying

111
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: on Kevin Durant to bail them out and he wasn't

112
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 3: able to do it at that point. And I was

113
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 3: feeling great. Dante Xen was looking great out there. You know,

114
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: the ball was just zipping around everywhere, and I was like,

115
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 3: this is this is the way to beat the USA.

116
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: Keep that ball moving and get those open shots. Chris

117
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 3: Goulding hit a couple of threes. But once the US

118
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: kind of closed that first half with that run to

119
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: bring it back to three points or two points, wasn't

120
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: maybe I can't remember, but it just felt then that

121
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 3: it was like they've they've kind of figured it out

122
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: that what they need to do it was to keep

123
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: going it around and then got the points there from

124
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: Booker and Australia just didn't have a CounterPunch in that

125
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 3: third quarter. That was the real problem there. Once that

126
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 3: league got to sort of eight nine points. We were

127
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 3: coming down and it was like, how are we going

128
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: to get a basket here? And you know, we found

129
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 3: I don't think we scored for the first like five

130
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: minutes of that third quarter, and that was just the problem.

131
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: It was just our offense just evaporated and the US

132
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: confidence was so high. It was really really tough to

133
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: see Australia getting back into the game. So disappointing end, certainly,

134
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 3: I mean, great start, really if they look good and

135
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 3: I thought, at least we're going to cover here, but

136
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: you don't even want that. You don't want to cover.

137
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: You want to lose and lose, you know, lose the

138
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 3: right way, and that's to not cover. That's a cheap

139
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: way of not losing. So you know, I didn't want to.

140
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to get here this morning and lose

141
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: the game and have tracing.

142
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm glad we actually yeah, okay, So when

143
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: are you going to get to singing here? We said

144
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: anytime the end of the show, opinion anytime on some

145
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: Chili Dogs with version are you doing well?

146
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: You have to wait and see I've spiced it up

147
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: a little.

148
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: So well, okay, you want to you want to sing

149
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: us wait now and lose a bunch of viewers, or

150
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: save it to you.

151
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 6: Let's save it.

152
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: So, Lee, did you know the score before you started watching?

153
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: That's a good question.

154
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: Well, listen, I got a few text messages last night,

155
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: so when I woke up, I was like what And

156
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: then I saw the score and I'm like, no, wonder

157
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: the text messages dried up. I got a few basketball

158
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: I've got a few basketballs and eyes emergies coming through

159
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: and I'm like, don't tell me we've done this. And

160
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: then I just noticed they sort of say this. The

161
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: time they were coming through must have been when we

162
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: were fifteen points up and then that was it. There

163
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: was no more after that because the league was gone

164
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: just about after that. So yeah, but it's fun watching

165
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: back because you're like, okay, yeah, you know, even though

166
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: you know the result, you're like, I learn maybe maybe

167
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: the results wrong, maybe the results wrong.

168
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: It's fun to see like how it like comes about. Yeah,

169
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: it is when you know the ALKI minded it off.

170
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, look, this was Australia's best chance

171
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: and I thought they gave it a good shot. But

172
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: it's just look, the USA's depth really does shine through

173
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: in games like that, Australia's got good. You know, four

174
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: players there, three or four players. After that, it's like, okay,

175
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: this guy can fill in for a few minutes, he

176
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: can play a few minutes, but the US can just

177
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: keep going to that bench and keep going deeper and deeper,

178
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 3: and everyone who comes out you're like, oh man, this

179
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: guy was an All Star too this year or whatever.

180
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: It is true, but I would also counter like, I'm

181
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: not sure Tim is even playing for a medal. I

182
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant's not on the squad, Yeah, if that is

183
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: that far fetch tray, like, I think there's some truth

184
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: to it, Like he has he has kept him in

185
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: games and then of course turned it on to have

186
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: these massive leads in third quarters and second halves, and

187
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: like a lot of it is him. I think they

188
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: would be still a great team, of course if he's

189
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: removed from the team, But I'm not sure they're beating

190
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: maybe Australia or again playing for the Golden medal on

191
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: Friday night. I'm not sure.

192
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: It's definitely not a guarantee because Durant kept him close.

193
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 4: When they were down fifteen, it was only Durant who

194
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 4: was able to score any of the baskets. And the

195
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 4: main thing with Durant is that he's unquestionably the number

196
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 4: one guy when he's on the court, and Team USA

197
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 4: has finally started to really realize that it's like when

198
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: we need a basket, when something is when we've hit

199
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 4: a bit of a lull offensively, it's got to be

200
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 4: KD And I mean, maybe that's not what you want

201
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 4: to hear from a Team USA team, where it's like, hey,

202
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 4: we just got to play some ISO ball with the

203
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 4: best guy we got. You'd think they'd be able to

204
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 4: get some ball movement and stuff, and they did. They

205
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: got shots in the first half, They got a bunch

206
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 4: of open ones that were just bricks, and then Australia

207
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: was also doing a great job getting a ton of deflections.

208
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 4: I thought they had incredible hands for the entirety of

209
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 4: the game night, and they were challenging the US three

210
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 4: point shots. They missed their first ten, but eventually it

211
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 4: came back around to the point that they were hitting

212
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 4: and everybody kind of falls in to line. You know,

213
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant's taking the most shots and then you're hoping

214
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: to get good contributions from everybody else.

215
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then on the other side, you guys already

216
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: said it, but I think when you said there, Lee,

217
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: like we need a basket Australia's I got to stop

218
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: the bleeding here, and I think usually that would be

219
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: like Patty will get a something. Yeah, especially FIBA Patty,

220
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: but not what Drew Holiday wrapped all over the task.

221
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: He was incredible Again. I know you're tweeting about true

222
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: there and just how awesome he's been the entire Olympic

223
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: run here, but especially in this one, just bottling up

224
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: an NBA player in Pinty Mills, making him sort of

225
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: non existent.

226
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Patty missed open shots to start this game.

227
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: He was kind of cold. He just didn't have a

228
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: good game. He scored late, hit a real tough one,

229
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: but yeah, that wasn't a good Patty Mills game and

230
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 2: they need him to be better, especially when he's playing

231
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: with Matthew del Vedova in the back court. As Lee

232
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: said about the depth on this USA team, you know,

233
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: the depth looks good when they're all playing their roles

234
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: really well, and that's what they're doing right now. Zack

235
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: Lavine and Devin Booker are just waiting off the ball

236
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: while Kevin Durant goes to work and then you know,

237
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 2: if they doubled Kevin Durant or somehow get out of

238
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: his hands like they did, Kevin Durant ready to swing

239
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: that thing, and Zaclavine and Devin Booker are just off

240
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: the ball guys who were ready to score. And that

241
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: was that's the beauty of this team. Yeah, they have

242
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: a clear hierarchy, and you know, you don't usually see

243
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: that with USA teams where it's this is the number

244
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: one guy, but the ball is going through Kevin Durant

245
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: each and every time. And Devin Booker said after the game,

246
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: you know there was a tail of two house. But

247
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: also that guy's our leader and we're just playing behind him.

248
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: And I think Kevin Durant will be the flag bearer

249
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: when they win the gold medal. At the closing ceremonies,

250
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: they had a basketball player that Sue Byrd as one

251
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: of the opening ceremony flag bears along with Eddie Alvarez.

252
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 2: They had two opening ceremony flag bears. I think k

253
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: deal Hold, I mean, he is just absolutely incredible right now.

254
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: And yeah, they they they just have a real, real

255
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: good sort of squad right now, from top to bottom

256
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: and you know, Zach Lavine's just chilling out there. He's

257
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: allowing Kevin Durant to make plays as as me and

258
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 2: Trey were tweeting about. I think that's what they got

259
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: to do. That's what Zach Lyvine has to do when

260
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: it comes to the Bulls. Just let Damar make some plays,

261
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 2: let Lonzo Ball make some plays, and you know, chip

262
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: in and then get scrappy like Devin Booker on the

263
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: other side, Devin Booker and him and Den Booker came

264
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 2: into the league one year apart. Den Booker just went

265
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: to his first playoff. Zach Lavine has never been to

266
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs. If you get scrappy like Den Booker, start

267
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: to play d like Devin Booker, and let, you know,

268
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: like Devin Booker, let Chris Paul do it. You know,

269
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: let Damar score on your team, let Lonzo Ball score

270
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: on your team, and then you know things will change.

271
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: So anyway back to the USA, they obviously are the

272
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: better team right now. But in a forty minute game,

273
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: every basket really counts. There's less basketball, so it's just

274
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: it's just you know, sixteen points sixty six percent less

275
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: basketball with eight less minutes on the clock. So I think,

276
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: you know, when Joe Ingles comes out and bangs home

277
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: those first threes, those are important shots. But it was

278
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: crazy to see it turn like that in the second quarter,

279
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: and the USA just really amp up the defense like

280
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: they do in every fricking third quarter. Now, the Boomers

281
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: were able to catch the ball wherever they wanted in

282
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: the first half, and in the second half they just

283
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 2: they weren't. They were not allowed Xnate on the catch A.

284
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a shorter it's a shorter game. But I

285
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: still saw some of my buddy Grishes and older median

286
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: men saying it was over there when the Boomers were

287
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: up fifteen. The receiats are out there, They're on Twitter,

288
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: we saw them. I saw a couple on IG as well.

289
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: This one's over TK, get ready to start singing. I

290
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: guess TK even admitted he was looking up the lyrics,

291
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: So maybe you were feeling.

292
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 4: A little concern in the cover at least, But I

293
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 4: mean a skeets, I was like, am I gonna really

294
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 4: have to go back and watch our own streams to

295
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 4: see which one of these songs Lee.

296
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 6: Said I have to sing?

297
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 4: I wasn't even one hundred sure. I think it was

298
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: the hit case on perhaps Straight Up Bangers. I'm concerned.

299
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: I made it all the way through it today. But

300
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 4: the other thing that kind of caught me off guard.

301
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 4: I didn't realize that the singer of Cold Chisel was

302
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 4: Jimmy Barnes screaming above the mountains, U meme that went

303
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: around the lawyers. So I was getting a lot of

304
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 4: that tweeted to me last night, and I was like, damn,

305
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 4: really I have to chisel here.

306
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: I know you are not.

307
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: Instead, we're getting a little Jack and Diane the spicy version.

308
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: Apparently Lee ellis Reebis later in the show. Anything to

309
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: add to this ley, you know, Team Australia will now

310
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: take on Slovenia in the Bronze Meddal game and Australian

311
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: in basketball men's have never never got that medal. So

312
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: still of course playing for something. I know it's maybe

313
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: not the gold that you were hoping for, but metal

314
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: would be a medal.

315
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be. It would be nice.

316
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 7: But yeah, you want to listen like I said this, Yeah,

317
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 7: this is this was our best chance to go for

318
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 7: gold and and we're I know we're going to finish fourth.

319
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: We're guaranteed to finish fourth. We always do it. It's

320
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: just it's hard to it's hard to not feel deflated

321
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: and just a bit more like, you know, we we

322
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 3: just we we We were so kind of close, but

323
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 3: not that close in the end, you know. Like I

324
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: was there in Athens, we led by after three quarters

325
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 3: against the USA, and I'm pretty sure it was Dwayne

326
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: Wade who came out and punched Australia in that fourth quarter.

327
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 3: We've been close before in a in a real game

328
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 3: against the United States, but we haven't been able to

329
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: finish off of those two non you know, all those

330
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: two exhibition games, they're fine, but you really wanted to

331
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: get one on the big stage. And this was a

332
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: great chance. And I and you know, Trey is saying

333
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: he was looking up the song there case, and I

334
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: though Greek Popovich had a little bit of concern on

335
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: his face there too, because he's seen this before from

336
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: Paddy Millers doing it to him. And I was just like,

337
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: this is this is the one, but unfortunately it wasn't

338
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: to be.

339
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: So, you know, do you think Ben Simmons would have

340
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: made a difference putting.

341
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 6: On who cares?

342
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: Who cares? I mean, if he doesn't want to play. Honestly,

343
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: if he doesn't want to play, he's too good for Australia.

344
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: He's going up against like some guy in a gym.

345
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 3: That's what he wants to do, and do it man,

346
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: you know exactly exactly like he's too good for Australia.

347
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 3: So don't bother. We don't need him to be perfectly honest,

348
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: we came very close without him. So if he doesn't

349
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: want to play, don't play. There's plenty of Australians out there,

350
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: guys like Dante Exum, who's a free agent. He put

351
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: it on the line for this team because he was like,

352
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: it means more to me than to sort of protect

353
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: what might happen. I thought he played well. He almost

354
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 3: got an injury there again, maybe he does find his

355
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: way back into the NBA. But I just like the

356
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: fact that he dressed up and went out there to

357
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: play for Australia knowing that, you know, an injury could

358
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: have maybe kept him out of the league. Ben Simmons

359
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: making up excuses about whatever he wants, So don't play.

360
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 4: No one cares tell.

361
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: Did he play rugby or something as a youngster. He

362
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: just got that bod. That's not a basketball but that.

363
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 3: Is his dad's bod. It is hilarious. Sea Selection was

364
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: known for that.

365
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 2: Just have it discussed.

366
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 3: Selection just had the caboose when he played. And I

367
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: think Dante is definitely growing into his dad's shape there.

368
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, another NBA contract, Yeah yeah, I think so.

369
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: I think so too. I think so what that will

370
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: be and where it will be, who knows. But you

371
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 3: know a guy who was drafted I think it was

372
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 3: number four from the Jazz and injuries really you know,

373
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: slowed him down, but he's shown that he can still

374
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: play at this level, so hopefully he does make it

375
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 3: back in.

376
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: And you're right, I mean, kudos to all these guys

377
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: for all their countries that go and play that are

378
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: in a contract year. Yeah, I mean, I mean we've

379
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: seen it with Team Canada, right task, Like a lot

380
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: of the guys say, I don't know, I shouldn't do it,

381
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: make it injured, might blow an x P check and

382
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: all that. And it's not just Canada, there's other guys

383
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: across the country and the world and stuff like that.

384
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 1: But man, you go out there and give it all,

385
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of like you said, x M

386
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: is a great example and stuff like that. I know

387
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: he's trying to also like get back into the league.

388
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: So it's a little different. But you know, you can

389
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: go and play for your country and you know still

390
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: obviously be fine in the NBA and sign your next deal.

391
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: I just wish some of the other guys would, especially

392
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: with Team Canada, will take that, take that approach moving forward,

393
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: we'll see. All right, let's get to the other game.

394
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: Really exciting here this morning. Man. I love I love

395
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: breakfast basketball. I freaking love it.

396
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 4: Man.

397
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: It's so much fun just to like, well, you're eating

398
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: your magic spoon, just to watch a game that you

399
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: know some steaks to it. It's great. What an ending,

400
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: but too block on the final possession puts France into

401
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: the gold medal game. Like we said against Temos, say

402
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: they get the semi final victory over at Slovenia and

403
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: Luca Donchinch's streak comes to an end. It's his first

404
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: loss in international play. He's now seventeen in one. But leally,

405
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: what'd you think of this one?

406
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 3: Well, Dungeon gets it triple double, the third one Olympic history,

407
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: and it's a it's a fairly big triple double. Sixteen points,

408
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: eighteen assists, but overall, I actually think France defended him

409
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 3: shooting and scoring the ball pretty well in this game.

410
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 3: Batoom a lot of the time there was just in

411
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: his face and Doncic add him to the super sweaty

412
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 3: team gang for sure too. He was dripping in sweat.

413
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 6: But he looked to me, you know, a.

414
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: Little fatigue from probably doing all he's done there for Slovenia,

415
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: and also again just that French defense made it so

416
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 3: hard for him, and then he passed off in the end,

417
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: I think it was propelled that you had that last

418
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 3: lap he was in. He was passed Batoum and Batum

419
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 3: made an incredible plot.

420
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: What a.

421
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 4: Yeah to watching that in real time.

422
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 3: It was like he's home. He scored this, and then

423
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 3: Batom got out of there, got there and got his

424
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: fourth block of the game and won it there for France.

425
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: So fantastic, and France certainly looked in control for most

426
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 3: of this second half, had the lead out to ten

427
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 3: points and you were just wondering how Slovenia were going

428
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 3: to get back into and it was the homie Mike

429
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 3: Toby who hit some shots there for Selvenia. But again

430
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 3: don Jicic when he's not scoring and able to shoot

431
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 3: as well. For those other guys to step up and

432
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: knock in those shots was so huge, and it felt

433
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 3: like maybe they were going to pull it out, especially

434
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 3: when Evan forty eight had that ridiculous offense if foul

435
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 3: with about fifty seconds to go, Selvenia had a chance,

436
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: but they just couldn't quite get over the line. So

437
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: fantastic game. Well done to France to hang on to

438
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 3: win this one, and now we do get I mean,

439
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 3: either way it was going to be great USA versus Luca,

440
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: but now we get a chance. The first game we

441
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 3: saw was USA France, and France pulled that out and

442
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: now we'll see if they can do it again in

443
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 3: the gold betal game. But great game, really really fun game.

444
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, from the narrative standpoint, you're lately, it was going

445
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: to be either Durant versus Luca for like who's the

446
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: best player in the world right now, and Luca's record

447
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: would still be undefeated and all that, and then instead

448
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: we get the rematch here, which should be awesome. And

449
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: this is you know, France played them the best, of course,

450
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: because they beat them and they've got a defense that

451
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: can you know, keep them in games like tam USA's

452
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: defense does a lot of the time. What'd you think

453
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: of this one tasks the final play there from Batoom

454
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: and just this game in general.

455
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Nikki Batom, what a play Obviously. I don't think

456
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: propell Atch, who was blocked there, has any regrets. Like

457
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes when a guy gets blocked right at

458
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: the backboard, you think to yourself, maybe he could have

459
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 2: got it up there faster. But he stretched out like

460
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: he you know, he jumped from outside the key his

461
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: last episodeutside the key and reached out and Batum is

462
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: just super long to make that block. Just an incredible

463
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: recovery there by Batum and then goes up to Luka

464
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 2: Dancic to you know, show him a little love to

465
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: console him. There some some Olympic sportsmanship right there. And

466
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: talking about a guy who is playing for a contract.

467
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 2: Nick Batum was a free agent when he went over

468
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: to Tokyo and signed a two year deal with the

469
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: Clippers to continue to play defense on Luca into the

470
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 2: future into the Western Conference playoffs like he did just

471
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: now against the MAVs. So that was awesome. What a

472
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: block would Luca if if he could do it? All again,

473
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: would he pass it up to Propel because he kind

474
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: of had kind of had Rudy on the perimeter there.

475
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 2: Now Batum was shaded over, so it was, you know,

476
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: a light double team way outside the three point line,

477
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: and Luca made the right play. But I wonder, I

478
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 2: wonder if he was sitting there with his head in

479
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: his hands thinking, you know what do I want this

480
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: think back? Because yeah, Batum did a really good job

481
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: on him. As he mentioned, great defense from fans. They're

482
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 2: just super solid defensively, So you can assume that Nick

483
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: Patum will be the guy all up in Kadi's grow. Yeah,

484
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 2: in the gold medal.

485
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: Game, Trey Way, what do you have to add to

486
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: this game?

487
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 4: Not a ton? It was definitely a fun watch. I

488
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 4: thought Nando Decolo was incredible for France. He finished with

489
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 4: twenty five points and he seemed to be a little

490
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 4: bit more consistent as a scorer going to the hoop

491
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 4: in the second half there than Fourny A was. TLC

492
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 4: also had a really solid game. He ended up with

493
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 4: fifteen points, hit three threes. I thought he was instrumental

494
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 4: defensively as well. Basically everybody on France is playing a

495
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 4: little bit of defense and making it tough. And that's

496
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 4: kind of what it came down to, the same thing

497
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: happened to Australia that happened to Slovenia. Their star didn't

498
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 4: play a completely star like game, and on this kind

499
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 4: of stage, that's what you need. The USA got a

500
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 4: star game from Kevin Durant plus their support guys, but

501
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 4: Luca came up a little short here. Maybe he would

502
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 4: have taken the last shot, but if you get a

503
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 4: lay up at the rim, it's kind of hard to complain.

504
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 4: But you know, he just didn't shoot the ball well

505
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 4: for the entirety of the night what it dantics finished

506
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 4: five of eighteen. He's had a lot better game so

507
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 4: far in this tournament, and it's just unfortunate for Slovenia

508
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 4: that it came in the semi finals rather than playing

509
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,479
Speaker 4: for the gold medal or earlier in the group stages

510
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: or something like that.

511
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just everybody knows the plan for us, correct

512
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, guys, I think I have this right.

513
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: Is the game, like I said, ten thirty pm Eastern

514
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 1: on Friday night here, so they're playing on Saturday in Tokyo.

515
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: But then on Saturday morning we're gonna have another podcast, well,

516
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: recap of that gold medal game. That rematch can tm

517
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: u s a get the revenge against Rudy Gobert and

518
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: Fournier and them with France. So we'll do we'll do

519
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: a podcast. I guess we'll just go probably live around

520
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: ten a m. Eastern like we normally do during the

521
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: week So subscribe to not Dunks on YouTube and you

522
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: can join us on the weekend and talk about that

523
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: game and any other maybe deals that happen in the

524
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: next couple of days.

525
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: We're got to cover the bronze medal game. Of course.

526
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm probably not watching.

527
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: I agree, Yeah, I agree, you know what.

528
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: I'm okay, I'll probably fine with that one as well.

529
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 3: That's just let's just the gold medal guys.

530
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 4: This guy, come on, you still got a chance with

531
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 4: the middle here.

532
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: It'd be like.

533
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: It'd be like if if the clip is and the and.

534
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 8: The who the Bucks playing the conference I've forgotten already, man,

535
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 8: It'd be like if the clip is a the Hawks

536
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 8: battled for a seven game series for third place.

537
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's tough, you know what I'm saying.

538
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: It would be a little weird. Yeah, we should. They

539
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: should do that. We got all those off nights between

540
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: the finals.

541
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 4: Like playing for some game at least, Yeah, you have

542
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 4: to play a whole series, just probably a third place game.

543
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. Yeah, like old Gus Macker rules,

544
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: at least have a toilet bowls vision. I remember like

545
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: if you lost your couple of games, he went over

546
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: there and you could still like win a trophy that

547
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: it literally was a basketball man standing next to like

548
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: a little crapper. I remember one like there was a

549
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: toilet I'm serious, look this up.

550
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 4: I mean I remember the Gus Macker logo basketball man.

551
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 4: I don't remember if there was.

552
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: At one point like a toilet bowl a toilet trophy. Yeah,

553
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: which is actually funnier.

554
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

555
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: Always wanted we would throw our first couple of games

556
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: so we could go have a chance at that. You

557
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: a crapper, Give me the crapper. All right. So that's

558
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: the semifinals there of Olympic Men's basketball. We will again

559
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: on Saturday morning. Recapped a gold medal game that happens

560
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: Friday night on East Coast time between France and USA.

561
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: Very very excited for that. All right, we'll get to

562
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,239
Speaker 1: D three of NBA free agency. But let's take our

563
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 1: first quick break, all right back with no dunks. Right

564
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: before the break, we were talking about the Gus Macker Tournament,

565
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: which was the old three on three basketball tournament. I

566
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: guess in North America. I don't know if it was

567
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: a worldwide thing, but I said, I think there was

568
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: a toilet toilet bowl trophy that if you lost your

569
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: first couple of games, you went into the toilet bowl

570
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: side of things, the bracket like the loser's bracket, but

571
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: you could win something still in the end, Tray said,

572
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: you found some, so it was a real thing. I

573
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: wasn't making this up.

574
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 4: There's a lot of them out there, skeets. They haven't

575
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 4: even stuck with one design for the entirety of the

576
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 4: toilet bowl. Here's the one I think you're referring to.

577
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 4: That's the one a Gus hanging next to it. John,

578
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 4: It's amazing, getting ready to go busy. I don't know.

579
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 4: That's pretty funny. Just a golden toilet. And then here's

580
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 4: the other one, which is just the toilet with Gus,

581
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 4: a tiny toilet with Gus on the back. I also

582
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 4: saw some that are like, uh, you know, like maybe

583
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 4: acetate or something kind of like see through, sort of

584
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 4: like our synopsis awards for anybody who would possibly understand

585
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 4: that reference. But yeah, a toilet trophy. I don't know

586
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 4: which I would rather have, the one with a little

587
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 4: toilet to the side or the just straight on single shitter.

588
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: I like the one where Gus is like, I just

589
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: dropped a massive load in there and it's pretty happy.

590
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna put the lid down, But lad

591
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: you have.

592
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 3: A favorite, probably the gold I think a golden crap

593
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 3: is pretty nice. We could even we could even brand

594
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: it no dumps.

595
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 1: All right, if we ever do yeah a no dunks

596
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: three on three tournament, we're bringing back the toilet Bowl

597
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: bracket and yeah, no dumps. I like that. Leally that's good. Okay,

598
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: well it was a real thing. I didn't make it

599
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: a real thing. Good to know. Okay. Let's recap D

600
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: three of NBA Free Agents. Just a reminder, if you

601
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: haven't listened to us talk about Day one and day two,

602
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: go back and listen to those podcasts. Did like a

603
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: ninety minute show on day one when there were so

604
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: much happening. Things down a little bit, but we still

605
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: did it. Now our show yesterday, so you can go

606
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: back and listen to all of our reactions to a

607
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: lot of these signings. But the big one Day three

608
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: tasks was Spencer Didwitty sign a trade going to the Wizards.

609
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: There have been a lot of rumors about this, but

610
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: it is official. It's part of a five team deal actually,

611
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: and Didwitty is signing a three year I've seen between

612
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: sixty and sixty two million, so it's somewhere around there.

613
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: I think wojet sixty. I think Seo I's at sixty two.

614
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, what do you think of Spencer Didnwitty go

615
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: into Washington?

616
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: Spencer bet on himself. Good for him. Yeah, he opted

617
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: out of the last year of his contract to get

618
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: three for sixty. This is monstrous. And just to go

619
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: back to on where this guy has come from, he

620
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: was undrafted, and I remember I'm wearing the starter shirt here,

621
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: and that's why I'm sort of reminded of the first

622
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: couple of years of Spencer Dinwide's career. He was came

623
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: out undrafted, played with the Pistons for two years and

624
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: sort of on the verge of leaving the league, saw

625
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: him at Summer League in the lineup at eggs lout

626
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: getting a sandwich and the old I think the biggest

627
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: moment for him in his early career was when he

628
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: was on the starters on the bench in the background

629
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: of a Detroit Pistons game where he was eating a

630
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: protein bar and we were discussing.

631
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 4: What is he need it?

632
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: What is it a chocolate bar? Is a protein bar?

633
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: And I think we settled on protein bar. But we

634
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: had to fill an hour on the starters back then,

635
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: so anything made this show back then. But he was

636
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: just on the verge on the cusp. It's sort of

637
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: like Cameron Payne, and he's fought back like crazy. He's

638
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,959
Speaker 2: kind of three years on the cheap in Brooklyn. Then

639
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: he signed for three for thirty nine and in the

640
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: last year opted out to sign yeah, three for sixty ish,

641
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 2: and we'll be Bradley Beal's backcourt made in Washington. And

642
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: they have just as deep a tea as they I

643
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: should say, a deeper team than last year. I think,

644
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: just as good a team as last year with Russell

645
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: Westbrook because what they got back from Russell when the

646
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook trade is is, you know, makes them, you know,

647
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: a solid team. You know, besides Beal and Dinwitty. They've

648
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: got better role players because they got Mantrez Harrell and

649
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: Caldwell Pope and Kyle Kuzma to go along with their

650
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: their young eyes and Ruey and Gafford and Danny Avdia.

651
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: Now this it will be Beal's team more so than

652
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: it was last year with Russell Westbrook there. Obviously, Spencer

653
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: will be off the ball a little bit more and

654
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: will he be able to be, you know, as great

655
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: as he was a couple of years ago. He's got

656
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: to He's he's just got to get back to what

657
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: he was a couple years ago. It's surprising to see

658
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: that he's sort of a below average three point shooter

659
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: in this league. It's surprising because Spencer Dinwiddie was a

660
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 2: twenty point per game guy. But you know, playing off

661
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: the ball, he should be really, really good. So this team,

662
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: it's going to join the the glut of teams in

663
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: like the seven, eight, nine to ten range there. You're

664
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: going to be just a solid with Dinwitty out there,

665
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: as long as he can bounce back from injury. Of course.

666
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I said I slipped it in there. This

667
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: was like to make it all work. This Dinwitty move in.

668
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: The sign and trade was a five team deal in

669
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: the end, involving the Westbrook trade. The Wizard's got Dinwitty,

670
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: KCP Mantres, Harrald Kuzma, Aaron Holliday remember from the Pacers,

671
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: and then the number thirty one pick Isaiah Todd the

672
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: Nets for really just like doing the sign in trade,

673
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: agreeing to that with Dinwitty, they get the most favorable

674
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: of a Grizzlies Wizard's twenty twenty four second rounder, then

675
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: a second rounder by way of a pick swap between

676
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: the Warriors and the Wizards in twenty twenty five down

677
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: the line, and then eleven point five million trade exception.

678
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: That's big. The Spurs are in this. You know there's

679
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: a favorable pick in there for twenty twenty two, a

680
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: second rounder, but they get Chandler Hutchison, Lakers get Westbrook

681
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: of course, the least favorable of that Wizard's Grizzlies twenty

682
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: twenty four second rounder, and then a future second rounder

683
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: from Washington in twenty twenty eight, and then the Pacers

684
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: for for their troubles just creepy in the corner. Oh,

685
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: Kinky five Way were sort of involved, but not really

686
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: they get a number twenty two pick there in Isaiah

687
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: Jackson wild stuff to when you break it all down,

688
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: you look at it, a lot of players involved, of course,

689
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: and picks and most favorable and least favorable and blah

690
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. But back to the Wizard's tray,

691
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: how good is this team going to be? With you know,

692
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: like what appears to be a pretty solid five Dinwitty,

693
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: Beal hatch Mura. I would assume Gafford probably starts with

694
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: Thomas Brian injured, and then I mean Casey pre Kuzma

695
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: probably is the fifth guy I think there. But what

696
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: do you think of this squad with.

697
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: Tass I think that the team is not going to

698
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 4: be a whole bunch better than they were last year.

699
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 4: They'll probably still be in the fighting for the play

700
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 4: in tournament, so put them in the seven to eleven range.

701
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 4: But still a pretty good job I think by the

702
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 4: Wizards to turn John wall on a tough contract into

703
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 4: a fun year with Westbrook, and then Westbrook becomes Dinwitty,

704
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 4: Harold ksep Kuzma and Aaron Holliday. That's like a full

705
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 4: starting lineup, and that's not the case for the Wizards

706
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 4: last year when they ran into their COVID problems early

707
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 4: in the season, they were just playing replacement level players.

708
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 4: So now they've got some real live depth here. Like

709
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 4: you're saying, Skeets, we don't even know who their starters

710
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 4: are going to be, and coming into the season last

711
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 4: year was pretty easy to pencil in a few of

712
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 4: their names, so we'll see exactly how they fit. I

713
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 4: actually think that Dinwiddie should play on the ball more

714
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 4: than Beal should, just because of the shooting. And I

715
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 4: think Beal's a great off ball player as well, and

716
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 4: that'll really Obviously he thrived playing alongside Westbrook as well,

717
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 4: so he can do both and it'll take a little

718
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 4: bit the burden off Beal, which I think is going

719
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 4: to help as well. We'll see if Dinwitdy' is able

720
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 4: to bounce back from his injuries. But anytime he's had

721
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 4: an actual big opportunity to produce, he has produced. So

722
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 4: Wizard's got to be pretty happy to at least turn

723
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 4: Westbrook and not a whole bunch of assets into a

724
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 4: full team. So well done, Tommy Shelley.

725
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: God, yeah, they flipped John wall in Westbrook into a

726
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: bunch of solid rotation players in the span of less

727
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: than a year, which is pretty wild turn around. You

728
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: usually don't like to talk about the Wizards because you

729
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: just keep saying free Bill, Free Bill, Free Bill. Have

730
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: you come around on like he's going to be there.

731
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: He's very unlikely going to be moved here before let's

732
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 1: see the trade deadline. I think another year or there.

733
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I think though it's in the Wizard's best

734
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 3: interest to see if they can cash in on him

735
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 3: as well right now because they don't want to get

736
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 3: to the point where he may be coming towards the

737
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 3: end of his contract and they don't have the same value.

738
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 3: But this Wizards team right now on paper kind of

739
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 3: reminds me of that Nets team before KD and Kyrie

740
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: were there. Sort of those players, kind of misfits, guys

741
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 3: who have bounced around a few teams, all on a

742
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 3: team together. But they're veterans a little bit, so you

743
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 3: know they're going to play hard at both ends of

744
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 3: the floor. But there's just not enough talent there to

745
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 3: really make you believe they can be anything better than

746
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: seventh seed in the Eastern Conference in first round five.

747
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 3: So Tommy Sheppard has done well though, to turn Wall

748
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 3: and Westbrook into just some of those those vet guys.

749
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 3: But just yeah, I don't think anyone's really gonna think

750
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 3: they can surge up the standings in the Eastern Conference.

751
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 3: And I think they got better than anyone in the

752
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 3: top half and a team that was in the lower

753
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 3: half like the Miami Hate I don't think they go

754
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 3: better than them either, So they should be at least

755
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 3: a little better than they would last season, but just

756
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 3: not enough for you to think that they're on the

757
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:18,959
Speaker 3: way up yet.

758
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this didn't Winny deal. I mean, he's getting paid,

759
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: like you said, task betting on himself. It's not crazy though.

760
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: At his level will get twenty million dollars a year

761
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: in today's game, Like that's Lonzo movable, you know, need

762
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: be and you're not like, oh boy, we're locked into

763
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: this forever, like not at all. So I like the moves.

764
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: I hear what you guys are saying. It's sort of

765
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: like they almost remind me of like a Pacer squad

766
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: now where it's like, oh, they got a lot of

767
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: good guys, have a really good team, like solid team,

768
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: but like what's their ceiling? Like it feels like a

769
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth seed. That would be their ultimate ceiling.

770
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: And it's like, can you even see them winning a

771
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: first round? Probably not unless there's an injury to the

772
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: other team. But they're they're they're sort of usually they're go,

773
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: and that organization is like, let's make the playoffs, let's

774
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: get in there, and let's at least compete, sort of

775
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 1: like Indiana if you think about it, like I sort

776
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: of like the type of vibe that they go for

777
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: and not like a complete tear down and rebuild. But

778
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: you're right, Lee, they could could cash in on Bial

779
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: if they want to. Maybe it's a slow start or

780
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: something like that. There's a high demand for him, and

781
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: it's like they try and get the boatload of picks

782
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: and really really lean into a rebuild. But I think

783
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: they're going to give it a go with West until

784
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: Junior there as a new coach, and it's like maybe

785
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: they surprise people early on and they're actually in the mix.

786
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 2: Let me just jump in. I made a mistake and

787
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 2: I said Spencer Dinwiddie was undrafted. He was a second

788
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: round pick. The owner of a move that was by

789
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 2: me also wanted to jump in with this crazy stat

790
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: that Zach Lavine going back to USA Basketball, won four

791
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 2: games in a row. Now, that's the longest of his

792
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: career since college.

793
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: I saw this going around. That is unbelievable.

794
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's never won four years in a row.

795
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 4: Terrible team, No, but four.

796
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 2: He was the first year with the Bulls, went on

797
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 2: a six his first year with the Bulls, which was

798
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 2: his fourth year in the league, they went on a

799
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 2: six or seven game win streak, but he was injured.

800
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 2: Oh so that Wow, that x naze it. But okay, Yeah,

801
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 2: he's been in the league seven years, played with the

802
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: Wolves for three years, and then the Bulls for four. Yeah.

803
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 2: Never been a part of four straight wins since UCLA.

804
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

805
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 4: Until next season, it's astonishing.

806
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and hope. So yeah, if they don't win four

807
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: straight games next year with this new squad, then things

808
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: are really going rough. Other news here, Danny Green signing

809
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:38,919
Speaker 1: with the seventy six ers, two year deal, twenty million. Leally, no, Trey,

810
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: let's go to you first. I mean, who caress Dandy Green?

811
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 6: Yeah exactly.

812
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure me and Lee got the same take. Who's

813
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 4: going to complain about a Danny Green deal? Here? Two years,

814
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 4: twenty million, ten million a year for a quality starter,

815
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 4: totally worth it, exact kind of player that the Sixers

816
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 4: are going to want to put around Joel Embiid and

817
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 4: whatever they happen to get for Ben Simmons, if they

818
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 4: do from Ben Simmons. I also think Danny Green is

819
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 4: kind of like a perfect Sixer because when he looks bad,

820
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 4: he looks just brutal to the point that it almost

821
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 4: overshadows the fact that he's good for the entirety of

822
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 4: the season. It's like he shot forty percent from three

823
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 4: last season, but you know, you're more likely to remember

824
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 4: Danny Green going like two for twenty five over the

825
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 4: course of six games and you are for him shooting

826
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 4: forty percent for a whole year. If you saw Darryl

827
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 4: Morey's tweet last night, yeah, you already know. The Sixers

828
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 4: had the best starting lineup in the league last season

829
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 4: when healthy. I don't know if that implies he wants

830
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 4: to run it back with Simo, but the Sixers were

831
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 4: up to one on the Hawks when Danny Green went

832
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 4: out with his calf injury. We don't know what the

833
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 4: Sixers are going to look like on opening night, but

834
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 4: Danny Green is gonna be able to help regardless of

835
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 4: if Simmons is there or not.

836
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee, you were all excited about frit kyn krk

837
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: Mass coming back there with his deal Philly, and now

838
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: we got Danny Green. They're replacing. Of course, they're bigs

839
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: there and Duyt Howard and Mike Scott with Andre Drummond. Yeah,

840
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: and George Hey. But what do you think of the

841
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: Danny Green move here?

842
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a good veteran regular season player. He wasn't

843
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 3: good against the Hawks before he got injured. I mean

844
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 3: that first game. Remember he was chasing around Trey Young

845
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 3: and he was getting absolutely smoked. But you know that

846
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 3: Danny Green because of his finals experience and his playoff

847
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 3: experience at the end of the game, if you need

848
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 3: someone to make a shot, he's good to have out

849
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 3: on the floor because he has hit some big threes

850
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 3: throughout his career. So that's a fair deal for a

851
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 3: guy at at this stage of his career. Ten million

852
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: a year for a couple of years, just to shoot

853
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 3: some threes, play some defense during the regular season, he

854
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 3: should be fine. He's a good guy too. He's a

855
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 3: good guy to have in the locker room. I think

856
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: I remember talking to him at the finals. He's a

857
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 3: nice fellow. Danny Green.

858
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: Did you ever see him in line waiting for a breakfast?

859
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: Now?

860
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 2: Anyway, you're with me when we saw Spencer.

861
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 3: Dinner, I was I knew you were going to bring.

862
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 4: That story up.

863
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was waiting. He had to wait, just like

864
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 2: the rest of them.

865
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 3: Well, I was going to say that eggs Lot line, You've.

866
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: Got a.

867
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 2: Thank you.

868
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 3: You've got a bit of time on your hands when

869
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 3: you're waiting for rake salute.

870
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 4: It's worth it.

871
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 3: But you're always waiting at least forty five minutes for

872
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 3: your food. There, But you spotted him. I didn't even

873
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 3: know it was him. You like, that's him, that's spends

874
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 3: the dim. He was like, you know, yeah, wonderful, wonderful.

875
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: Anything to add to this.

876
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 2: I do find it interesting that this Philadelphia seventy six

877
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: or seen was the number one seat and everybody not

878
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: talking about them whatsoever, just because they have the Ben

879
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 2: Simmons thing hanging over their heads, but everybody putting them

880
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 2: in the tier two behind Milwaukee Brooklyn, Uh, pretty emphatically,

881
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: just just not even throwing them, throwing them a bone.

882
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 2: They were the one seed. They are very good and

883
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: and Danny Green will help out. I did go to

884
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: Daniel Richard Green Junior's basketball reference page, and I saw

885
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: his nickname is icy hot, which, first, whatever, what kind

886
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 2: of why would he be nicknamed icy hot? But with

887
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: the way he runs, with the way he runs with

888
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 2: that stiff back, maybe maybe that's why his nickname is

889
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 2: icy hot, so it's kind of fitting. If well, if that's.

890
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: Also what Trey said. He's like the guy like will

891
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: hit ten straight threes hot and then we'll go good

892
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: point two for twenty icy.

893
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 2: That's probably why could call him hot icy.

894
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: I guess, but it doesn't work as Jarney Green though,

895
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: does have one of the most recognizable gates in the NBA.

896
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 4: Like, if you're seeing him run, he's got like as

897
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 4: he almost like has wings a little bit when he's going,

898
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 4: Like his hands and elbows both point backwards.

899
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 2: He's very ill.

900
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 4: Story, bro, if you want, Yeah.

901
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: All right, some other little minor deals here, let's slip

902
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: this one in Victor Oladipo agreeing to stay with the

903
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: Heat one year minimum deal. Tass, we'll go to you

904
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: first on this one. What was your reaction to the

905
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 1: old Deepo news?

906
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: Ah, it just pains me. That Victor Oladipo is now

907
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: signing for the minimum after, you know, being an All

908
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: Star in this league. It wasn't that long ago. But

909
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 2: then in that eighteen nineteen season where he was an

910
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 2: All Star, went down with that quadriceps tendon injury, a

911
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 2: rare injury, and it took him a year to recover

912
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: from it. And then he was part of the four

913
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: way deal where it went to Houston, and I was

914
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 2: chucking it up in Houston, but wasn't looking like himself.

915
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 2: So then he got moved along for a smaller package

916
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 2: to the Miami Heat at the trade deadline because he

917
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 2: had diminished. So the trade package going back was Kelly

918
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 2: Olinik and Avery Bradley and a pick. And now after

919
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 2: the Heat took that chance, what it was six months

920
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: ago where they took that chance, now they're just taking

921
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 2: this one last flyer. To me, I say it that way,

922
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 2: and it pains me to say it, but it just

923
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 2: feels like Victor old people who went under the knife

924
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 2: again just a few months ago with that same area

925
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: of an injury in the quad tendon area. Is a

926
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 2: little scary, you know. I just think that this is

927
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: probably his last real shot at being a great player

928
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 2: here because it's the same injury over and over again.

929
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: He just hasn't looked the exact same. You know, we thought,

930
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 2: obviously you take a flyer on him, But at the

931
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 2: same time, you know, he's a guy who likes the

932
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 2: bolt in his hands. I just wonder how that's all

933
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: it's all gonna fit. Hopefully, hopefully just gets healthier anyways,

934
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 2: That's that's really what it comes down to. He's such

935
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 2: a great player.

936
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 4: Were you surprised at all with this, Trey, I'm not

937
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 4: surprised that he got a veteran minimum deal. He wasn't

938
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 4: very good in Miami, and at this point, if the

939
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 4: Heat get anything out of Victor Oladipo, that's going to

940
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 4: be a win for them. To get a quick contributor

941
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 4: on the veteran minimum for a team that's got a

942
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 4: huge salary cap. That's gonna be nice. Ola Depot, though

943
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 4: it turned down a two year, forty five million dollar

944
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 4: deal in February from the Rockets, probably should have took it.

945
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: Lee. You agree with that.

946
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 3: He's twenty nine years old, so he could still hang

947
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 3: around the league. Had It's hard to see how he's

948
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 3: going to recoup that money that he could have signed

949
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 3: for in Houston really, because I think he's just going

950
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 3: to sort of bound around now if he gets himself

951
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 3: fully healthy. As Tas said there, this is like for Miami,

952
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 3: this is a complete bonus to have a guy like

953
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 3: that on your roster. But we haven't seen that. We

954
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 3: didn't see any real even glimpses of that down there,

955
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 3: so you're sort of trying to, you know, picture it

956
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: and hope that he can get to that level. But

957
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 3: maybe he can't. Maybe that injury is just sort of

958
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 3: too debilitating and he won't be able to be that score.

959
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 3: He's a good defender as well, so he's got lots

960
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 3: of still sort of time and potential there. But there

961
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 3: obviously wasn't really much of a market for him either.

962
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: If you're going to rehab, though, I can think of

963
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: worse places than Miami to do it, So, you know,

964
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: especially not just the location of course, the city and

965
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but the team they have there and

966
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: the crew they have to try and bring it back

967
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: make some sense. So yeah, wishing him the best and yeah,

968
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: maybe he proves himself and maybe he's got one more

969
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: big p day left in on It's possible but I

970
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: think it's a little unlikely because just what we saw

971
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: before the injury or the second injury, or the reaggravating

972
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: of the injury. Other news, You're just gonna throw them

973
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 1: all atually. You can go wherever you want. Julius Randall

974
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: has agreed to a four year, one hundred and seventeen

975
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: million dollar contract extension with the Knicks. That happened this morning.

976
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 1: The Warriors traded Eric Pascal to the Jazz for future

977
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: second round pick. Magic and Moe Wagner agreed to a

978
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: two year deal. That's right, we got two Wagners in Orlando.

979
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna stay there play with his brother, who was

980
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: drafted eighth overall. And the Celtics agreed to a one

981
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: year deal with Canter, who keeps going back and forth

982
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: between the Blazers and the Celtics. He's back in Boston.

983
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: So what do you want to touch on there?

984
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 3: Ley, Let's talk Vagna. We all want to talk about

985
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 3: my Vagner for a while here and now, of course

986
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,959
Speaker 3: not Julius Randall. Well done, four years and one hundred

987
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 3: and seventy million dollar extension. I think that's pretty good

988
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 3: value for him, and I think it's pretty good value

989
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 3: for the New York Nicks. It's not a contract that's

990
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 3: like going to hamstring them at any point down the road.

991
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 3: And Julius Randall earned that contract this He was a

992
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 3: fantastic player, All NBA All Star, did a great job. Obviously,

993
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 3: the playoffs didn't go all that well for him, So

994
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 3: I think that's pretty fair value for him. He's got

995
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 3: one year left on his deal, so right now he's

996
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 3: basically got a five year deal worth around one hundred

997
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 3: and forty million. I think that's pretty good for a

998
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 3: guy who, you know, he didn't work out in Los Angeles,

999
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 3: he went to New Orleans and had a fairly cheap

1000
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 3: contract there, gets to the Knicks and really plays well.

1001
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 3: He was loved in New York this season, and you know,

1002
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 3: I think that's a pretty good deal for everyone involved.

1003
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: Tas want to touch on any of these that I

1004
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: just threw out there.

1005
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 2: I didn't know that Eric Pascal was childhood friends with

1006
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell, so now they're going to be a buddy

1007
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 2: buddy there in Utah. Yeah, well they go way back.

1008
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 2: And you know, Lee, you don't want to talk about

1009
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 2: moul Wagner, but I think we're going to talk about

1010
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: more Wagner next year. I think he's got some game

1011
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 2: in those hands. I think he's going to get better.

1012
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 2: I know he's always been a bit of a grainter,

1013
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 2: but I think he's I think he's got a little finesse.

1014
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think Magic fans hope that we're not talking

1015
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: about Mo Wagner though, because that means then what Isaac's

1016
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: probably not back and playing full health, and a couple

1017
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: of their other young guys that are their bigs and

1018
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: then their brother. Hopefully we're talking about the other Wagner. Right,

1019
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: I'm just saying they don't want us to talk about

1020
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: Mo Wagner all that much. He's probably a completely fine backup.

1021
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: He's there, let's be honest, because his brother is there,

1022
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: I assume too, to help the transition and all that.

1023
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 2: Well, he was there last year, And did we talk

1024
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 2: about him then?

1025
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: No, No we did, But yeah.

1026
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 4: We did, Yeah we did. He was part of a

1027
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 4: huge ball straight. I thought he was going to be

1028
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 4: a Chicago Bull. We had him on the starters once

1029
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 4: upon a time. That's my task put on the shirt.

1030
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 4: Because Mo Wagner was on the starters. There's a chance

1031
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,919
Speaker 4: he could be the best. Mo on the team and

1032
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 4: the best Wagner on the team.

1033
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 3: What did what game did we play with him? On

1034
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 3: the start?

1035
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 4: As anyway, we had him talk trash. I remember like

1036
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 4: he dunked on me and they said, who you think

1037
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 4: you are? With that Beard James Hard That was pretty good.

1038
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember the game we played at all.

1039
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 2: I thought, sometimes, give me some mo m O E.

1040
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 1: We went with, yeah, okay, that's how he how he

1041
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 1: spells I guess, yeah.

1042
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: All right, But then on Facebook we wrote Wagner m

1043
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 2: O Wagner plays give me some mo.

1044
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: Crazy sorry, which is weird because there's no E in it.

1045
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's more more, it's give me, give me a

1046
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: C S B, give me a cool story bro the show.

1047
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: It's sort of unbelievable. We actually still have Lee singing

1048
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: uh version of Jack and Diane, and we got j

1049
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: D with tweeted the night. But let's take one more

1050
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: break before we get to that. Okay, let's get to

1051
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:53,399

Speaker 6: will make into memes. And and one guy in particular

1058
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 6: that does a lot of graphics stuff he'll send in

1059
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 6: just random stuff is Stephan Vasilev. And let me take

1060
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 6: you back to May of twenty twenty, so over a

1061
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:39,720
Speaker 6: year ago, Stephan tweeted this. Someone said, hey, you should

1062
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 6: try rock band Unis, and I was hooked, so coming

1063
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 6: in first, I bring you the Minnesota Pearls naming logo

1064
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 6: UNI by yours truly, thank you, blah blah blah blah.

1065
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 6: And you know, their prints inspired Minnesota uniforms, and they're

1066
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 6: actually pretty cool. I mean I went back and looked

1067
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 6: at the tweet and I was like, oh, I liked

1068
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 6: this tweet so uh well sometimes well I'm rarely on

Speaker 6: so I thought these are pretty I like that a lot.

1071
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 6: The Minnesota's famous, most famous, uh slightly overrated musician. I

1072
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 6: can't help it.

1073
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: I have toted.
